The winning sound was was Sound 1 – which you can hear in the following video.

The next step for the Ubuntu Design Team and the soundscape creator is to work on adapting the sound to user feedback gained from the survey. This includes making the sound ‘more human, less synthesised’, lowering the pitch, and increasing ‘the warmth of the tone’.

If all of these tasks can be achieved to a satisfactory result then all that will be left is to land the chime in Ubuntu 12.04.
